"Should I sign it now?"

I mentally slapped my face and look down and shook my head gently. Why do I keep reminiscing what happened earlier! I should've said that, that was so embarrassing! Bakit ko ba sinabi 'yon!

I look at Zakchaios who's driving the car right now, pinauwi na kasi nito ang driver niya kaya siya nalang ang nagmaneho ng kotse.

"Is it here?" I heard Zakchaios asked, I turned my head towards him then outside.

I nodded. "Ahh oo, dito lang."

He stopped the car. I unlocked the seatbelt and before I could get off the car Zakchaios was already outside and is also standing outside the door of the passenger's seat. He opened it and reach his hands to me I was hesitant at first but in the end I reached for his hands.

I smiled at him. "Salamat ulit, mauna na 'ko."

He nodded. "No worries, I'll see you tomorrow, good night."

I didn't respond and just walk my ass away from him. As I am walking away I held my face using both of my hands, I'm literally burning because of his actions. Sigurado akong namumula ang mukha ko, no one has ever been that gentle to me.

I look back to see if he already left subali't mas lalo lamang namula mukha ko. I hope he can't see my face from this distance.

He's leaning on his blue car while his arms is crossed and his eyes was only looking at me. I look away at lakad takbo ang ginawa ko para lang makarating agad sa loob ng building.

Narinig ko ang pagbuhay niya ng kanyang kotse at payapang umalis. Agad akong naglakad patungo sa elevator.

When I arrived in front of my apartment's doorstep I stop for a sec and sighed then I opened the door to my apartment nang medyo nakasalubong ang kilay.

As I opened the door the empty and dark apartment welcomed me. Magaalas onse na rin kasi kaya sigurado akong tulog na si ate kisha and as for the contract thing, Zakchaios and I will talk about it tomorrow after my shoot for red roses.

Nang makapasok sa apartment ay naglakad agad ako patungo sa kitchen. I turned my cellphone's flashlight and headed towards the switch, binuhay ko ang ilaw. I took a glass from the glass compartment and a pitcher from the fridge, nagsalin ako ng malamig na tubig sa baso at agad na nilagok ang isang basong tubig. Pinatay ko na agad ang ilaw matapos makainom and headed towards my room with the glass and the pitcher.

Inilagay ko sa table ko ang baso at ang pitsel, I immediately took out the remaining sticks of cigarettes from my shoulder bag. Sinindihan ko ito at agad na nilagay sa labi and blew the smoke, I took the cigarette from my mouth at inipit ito sa gitna kaliwa
kong hinlalaki at hintuturo.

"The fuck! Ganon ba ka desperate si dad na kinakailangan niya pa talagang papuntahin sa harap ng building ng apartment ang mga bodyguard!" Naiinis kong sabi at ginulo ang buhok sa stress.

I walked towards the veranda and felt the cold breeze of the night. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam, ibinalik ng madalian ang sigarilyo sa mga labi at agad rin itong inilayo.

Nang maubos ang sigarilyo ay pumasok na ako sa loob at naghanda na sa pagtulog. I washed my body and change into a pajamas at pabagsak na huminga sa queen size kong kama.

Tumayo ako at uminom ng isang basong tubig bago matulog. I turned on the air conditioner using a small remote before closing my eyes dozing off to dreamland.

I woke up due to the ringing alarm clock I always set. I lazily lift my hand towards the bedside table to turn it off.

"It's 6 am in the morning." Bulong ko at inunat ang magkabilang kamay at humikab.
